Divorce of Mrs. Turner.

Mrs. Turner applied yesterday to
Judge Hutton for divorce from her
husband, F. A. Turner, on the ground
that he had beaten her numerically
and threatened to take her life more
than once. They were married in
1873 at Boonville, Mo-, from whence
they came to this city. The husband
took to drinking, and having violent
temper he made his wife's life one of
terror and unhappiness. Mrs. Turner
stated that on the 5th of August
Turner beat her numerically, at the
residence of Mr.. Humphreys. He
assaulted her on Alameda street in
September breaking parasol on her
back. also at 11S South Johnson street
he threatened her with knife. In
December he beat her fearfully for

Quick as lightning the news was
sent to Walter S. Maxwell, the

A New Civil Rights Bill.

Weeks ago drew attention to one feat
ure of the Interstate Commerce bill that
hundreds of thousands of Southern whites
would not particularly relish. 1t was the
civil rights feature of the bill. The thir-
ty-second section proposes to do on all
railroads precisely what the Republican
Congress failed to do as to hotels, thea
tres, &c. The Supreme Court of the
United States decided that the chief and
most obnoxious features of the Civil
Rights law were unconstitutional. 1t
ought TO go for the new law, section 32nd,
as soon as it has opportunity. A law that
breaks down all social barriers as far a.
travel is concerned; that turns negroes
and whites into the same sleepers and
coaches and forbids all distinctions or dis
ordinations will not be agreeable to a
large class-the people who travel and
mainly contribute to the support Of rail-
roads. Steamboats, come under the same
Objectionable section thirty y-second.
The Memphis Appeal says editoriatly:
"This will be another thorn in the side
Of the Southern Railroads, and will either
curtail the present volume of travel or
make them liable for suits for damages.
+ = Arbitrary and unjust, this act will be
disastrous to every interest in the coun-
try, and it's modification or repeal ought,
as no doubt it will be, the first considera-
tion Of Congress-. The farmers, the mer-
chants, the railroad men, indeed, all classes,
including the 'poor player will demand
it,"
There ia long com mmunication in the
same issue of the Appeal on this thirty
second section. The law is handled with
out gloves. AIR w. r. Moore is the wri-
ter. We make but one extract. He says:
"Its Southern advocates, particularly,
have for generation inveighed against
the fearful evil of 'centralization,' and
against negro equality Have they re-
pudiated the latter doctrine? Their votes
upon the bill do not so Indicate"
We see it mentioned that one Memphis
merchant told the Commission that if the
Interstate law was enforced he would
lose fully $40, 900 annually. Others will no
doubt be benefited, if not in Memphis, in
other cities. But the Civil Rights clause
is ''stunner."- WsinainGton Star.

Roasted Alive in a Theatre.

The story Of the Theatre Fire in Paris as Cabied
to the NY. Herald.
The fire caught ina curtain from row
of gas Jets 10 the flies. There were Two
thousand people in the theatre at the time.
The performance was "Mignon." At ex-
actly q quarter before nine, just as the
first act, Mile. Merguillier, who, as Phi
lene, was singing the waltz song to the
chorus accompaniment, suddenly ceased
singing and disappeared. She had stood
in front of the cottage at the right OF the
stage, which was overhung with trees,
when showers of glowing cinders began
falling about her. The instant she van
ished M. Taskin, who sang Lothario, step
ped to the front amid the falling embers
and said: "DoDt move-it's nothingp
In the stalls and the pit, where the dan
ger was most evident, the audience began
rapidly but quietly to leave the house.
In the galleries, where the magnitude of
the fire was not visible, people remained
seated. By the time the stalls were emp
tied the house was full of smoke and the
entire stage ablaze. Scenes of terror fol-
lowed. The screams of the ladies min.
gled with the shouts of the people upon
the stage. A frantic crowd came tum-
bling over each other. Pretty women in
full evening dress and delicious toilets
from Worth. Felix and Rouff, rushing
pell-mell with shop girls and cocottes.
came pouring out like an avalanche into
the Place BoieTdieu Cloaks and wraps,
of course were left behind. A cold rain
came down steadily, but luckily there was
not breath Of wind. ........
Other scenes of panic occurred in the
Rue Favart, where from the stage entran-
ces bevies of fgurantes and half dressed
ballet girls came tearing down, followed
by the chorus singers, the scene shifters
and the carpenters. No one knew as yet
whether there were any casualties. There
were hundreds of people in the galleries,
but the police and the fremen declared
that the most of them escaped. The Of
6cial report, however, states that there are
fifty dead and l1O wounded.
The consternation of the boulevards
reached it's climax at about ten o'clock,
when at least hundred thousand people
blocked all the streets leading to the
burning theatre, while the 6remen, in
brazen helmets, aided by battalion OF
the twenty first regiment of the line, kept
back the crowd and helped to take the
wounded TO the police station Of the Rue
Richelieu where military ambulances
stood in readiness to convey them 10 their
homes in cots. AT the police station
saw three tigurantes, pretty young girls,
lying dead. Their clothing was burned
off them and their chests and arms were
black from the flames. Men and women
we're lying about groaniug with pain
from burns, while the doctors were hard
at work doing their best to resuscitate
those who were but partially suffocated.
The fire took place on the night of the
25th May. --......

A Little Girl made Insane.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 27.--Bessie
Miles, aged eight years, daughter of a
blacksmith living near Harrod's Creek,
was, on Tuesday night, the victim of q
cruel joke, which caused the loss of her
reason, and perhaps her life. The little
girls mother took her to the residence of
Mrs Herman Graudt, where a private
spiritualistic seance was being held. The
little girl was very much frightened, and
frequently begged her mother to 60 home.
The company laughed at her. and finally
q son of Mrs Graudt, in a spirit of mis-
chief, crawled behind the girls chair, and
gave utterance to a dismal groan. The
poor girl fell from the chair in convulsions
and a white froth collected about her
mouth. Every body was now thoroughly
frightened, and the mother was nearly
distracted with grief There was no phys
ician near, but every thing that could be
thought of was done. The little girl re-
mained unconscious until DIR. Ruby, of
this city, arrived at O'Clock yesterday.
Then she opened her eyes, but there was a
wild, unnatural light in them, and the
Doctor thinks her reason has been de-
throned. The shock was also 50 great to
her nervous system that she may not re-
cover.

punished.

A Curious Statement.

We copy this extract from o Washing
ton letter to the Statesville Landmark:
at is a singular fact that all the Civil
Service Examining Boards controlling ap-
pointments in the Departments are mostly
composed of Republicans. This is nota-
bly true 10 the War and State Depart
ments. The reason of this is because
there are not enough Democrats in high
position to fill the places. Nearly all the
high officials in these Departments are
Republicans, the majority of them being
of the most partisan stripe.
When Cleveland was inaugurated there
were eighteen Civil Service Commission
Boards of Examiners, charged with the
duty of conducting examinations and
marked examination papers for the de-
partments here, eleven Custom House
Boards and twenty five Postofice Boards.
The aggregate membership of these
Boards is about 2Os. Of these about
seven were Democrats and the balance
were all Republicans. The Republican
members of the New York Custom Beard
have all been dismissed except two. But
one of the Republicans is Chairman OF the
Board while the other is Secretary and
they actually control the Board 1t
is time these things wers changed. The
Democrats, although their party Is the
dominant one, have not even fair show
ing with the Republicans. And Mr.
Cleveland is not to blame for it. Many
Republican official is backed by a Demo
cratic Senator or Representative. In a
short time these Democratic Senators and
Representatives will be spotted and ex-
posed by name in all the leading newspa-
pers in this country almost simultaneously.
Then their constituents will know where
the fault lies and these Janus-faced states
men (?) these traitorous hypocrites will
be kicked out of the high places they have
disgraced, despoiled of the trusts and
honors they have abused, and relegated to
that obscurity which will afford them less
conspicuous opportunities for the practice
of their questionable methods. The Pres
ident is blamed for it, and some of his
| loudest trsducers are those whose names
will be found on that list when it is pub
lished and when it's correctness can be e.
tabl,shed beyond possibility of contradic-
tion."
If Mr. Cleveland is not to blame let the
proof come out with it no matter who is

That Block of Marble.


Editors Charlotte Democrat In the
issue of the Chronicle of the 26th OF May
ia an article relative TO the "Block OF
Marble in the Washington Monument"
The history of the block is as follows:
The State authorities had taken no action
on the subject. The time tor it to be
sent was at hand. The citizens OF LIN
colnton held q meeting and resolved to
eeud marble block from Lincoln county.
Among those present at the meeting were
Henry Cansler, BENZ. Sumner, Sr., VIM.
and Robt. Williamson, VIM. Lander, Sami.
Lander, Sr., L. E. Thompson, V. A. NC
Bee, J. f. Hoke and others.
Mr. Causler stated that block could
be obtained at the Shuford marble quarry
with less expense, as it there cropped out
above ground. DIR. D. w. Schenck sng-
gested that we had better notify the
Governor and act in conjunction with
him. DR.. Schenck was appointed to
write to the Governor and ascertain what
color of marble was desirable, the white
or blue variegated, both kinds being OBJ
tainable.
Gov. Manly replied, choosing the white,
and directed the block to be sent by
wagon to Fayetteville; and stated that
the State would defray the expenses.
Mr. Sumner and Mr. Cansler, and per-
haps others, proceeded to get the block,
and it was shipped as per the Governors
directions.
At the session of the Legislature, 1850, a
committee of both Houses was appointed,
consisting of 13 members, to select sulta-
BILE inscription for the block. The COM
mittee consisted in part of Hon. Romulus
MSaunders, Green W Caldwell, and j. F.
Hoke-the other persons not recollected.
The committee, after full discussion, re-
ported, and the Legislature resolved,
"That His Exoellency, the Governor,
cause to be transmitted the block of mar
BILE presented by the patriotic citizens OF
Lincoln county, and that he cause to be
made on it the following inscription
"North Carolina, Mecklen6uro Declara-
tion of Independence, May, 1775."
The report of the committee, written
by Hon. r. M. Saunders, contains the rea-
sous why the Goth May, 1875, was not in
scribed on the block, and the report can

Extra Session of Congress.

thinks that there is little doubt of an ex-
ira session of Congress in October,

than ordinary purpose. AS soon as they

that and other important measures of
public interest to be considered,
the Fiftieth Congress will have all eyes
ceptered upon it. One thing which will
be watched with great interest will be the

opposed to the absolute power given to

to abolish this feature. He expects to

Interfering with Servants.

The practice of enticing servants away
from their employers is said to be
quite common in this place, and for the
benefit of all concerned we publish the
following extracts from the Code Of N orth
Carolina.
Section 3119. If any person shall entice, per-
suade and procure any servant by indenture, or
any servant who shall have contracted in wri-
ting or orally to serve his employer, to unlaw-
fully leave the service of his master employer;
or, if any person shall knowingly and unlawfully
harbor or detain, in his own service and from
the service of his master or employer, any ser
want who shall unlawfully leave the service of
such master or employer; then, in either case,
such person and servant may be sued singly or
jointly, by the master, and, recovery, he shall
have judgment for the actual double value of the
damages assessed
Sec. 3120. In addition to the remedy given in
the proceeding section against the person and
servant violating the preceding section, such
person and servant shall also pay penalty of one
hundred dollars to any person suing for the
same, singly or jointly, one half to his use and
the other to the use of the poor of the country
where suit is brought, and the offender shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not exceeding
one hundred dollars or imprisoned not exceeding
six months"
The municipal law thus supplements
with Q mundane remedy the divine in
junction against coveting a neighbor's
servant or maid. The word "his" as en-
ployed in the Code applies to female as
we'll as male servants.
It frequently happens, perhaps, that ir-
responsible persons entice servants away
for householders who are innocent of any
knowledge of the means employed to pro-
vide themselves at the expense of their
neighbors, and the suggestion of our cor
respondent, that a testimonial from the
last employer should be required, is a
good one Greensboro Neacs.
